| Oct 24, 2019 at 5:46 | comment | added | Vishnu | @uhoh, Thanks for sharing that question. Now, I have got some insight into what happens based on the first answer there. Interestingly, my question and this answer is similar in many ways. It would be great if you could give possible steps to reduce this contamination, if possible. | |
| Oct 24, 2019 at 5:41 | comment | added | Vishnu | @Uwe, Thanks for the valuable point. Further, if we use hypergolic propellants, then they are extremely toxic (carcinogenic). They may contain particles which I think will contaminate very sensitive spacecraft components. Is there any model (like Kinetic theory of gases) which determines the concentration of particles varying due to the extreme conditions of space? | |
